McKellar Goes Up and Down

In our first hand, Kenyon McKellar raised to 2,300 from early position. He was called by the big blind.

The flop brought {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the big blind check-called Miller's bet of 2,000.

The turn was {9-Spades}. The big blind checked once more, but called off their last 3,200 when McKellar announced he was all in. McKellar's {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} were behind the big blind's {a-Spades}{q-Spades}.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds} to McKellar, and he knocked out another opponent, growing his stack to 59,000.

The very next hand a woman announced she was all in for 4,975 on a flop reading {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. McKeller showed his {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} before folding, and he's back down to 57,000.

When he's not riding chip-swinging roller coasters, McKellar is a bartender at the Fiesta Henderson.
